Interdimensional Farming in Another World

Chapter 70 A Gathering

?

Unknown to him, Alex had already turned into a prepper. A group of people that was prevalent in his previous life.

Every one of his actions was to prepare himself to survive the bleak future. He knew something horrible was about to happen. And this was his method of coping with the situation. 

But unlike the preppers in his past life, Alex was different. He was not just trying to ensure his survival. He was also trying to ensure the survivability of everyone. His goal differentiated him from the others. 

Only the insane would try to save the entire world. And in conclusion, Alex was insane. 

Even though his words often make him seem like a pessimistic bum that wants to see the world burn, his actions often told otherwise. 

A person should be judged by their action. Not by the sweet words he had spoken. A politician is capable of lying through his teeth. But his actions will always show his real self. 

And the real Alex was not that bad. He was just a porcupine with trust issues. Only among people he trusted would he turn into a normal happy person. 

Very few people have realised this trait of Alex. And Mupan was among the few who saw through it. So, when Alex or Meru as he knew, came to invite him to the farm, he was thrilled. 

He knew that a troubling issue that was haunting his heart was about to be solved. 

Although Alex may seek profit with his action, what he was doing will directly help the Stone head tribe and the people in it. Mupan had a blind belief in Alex. 

All that he has achieved in the brief time after awakening was not something a normal child could have done. So, his belief in Alex intensified after each day. 

–

To show the result of his effort, Alex brought Mupan to his farm. It has been a week since he eradicated the weed and sowed the seed. He wanted to let Mupan see the thick stalks of wheat swaying in the wind. 

"My plan to cultivate crops in this harsh land has been completed. You need to keep your promise, Mupan." Alex requested politely.

"I know. Yes, you can employ people to cultivate the land. It has been hard on you. You did well. I know that it was not easy. Thank you." The emotional Mupan said. 

He was surprised to see the farmland. The land before him was going to change how they were going to live in the future. And it was going to be a better future. 

His eyes teared up remembering the people he had lost during the hunt. 

'Not anymore, no more lives will be lost. We could live a normal life like normal people. We don't have to hunt desperately to survive.' 

"Now that I have created a stable way to farm. How about moving on to the next phase…" Alex said with a smile. 

Mupan, who saw this nodded back.

While Alex was taking his time to farm, the threat to the central continent intensified. 

Unknown to him, many localised attacks took place all around the continent. And the perpetrator of those incidents was the evil organisation. Their motives were unknown, but their presence could be felt everywhere.

This spooked the nine great tribes. So, the elders of the nine great tribes convened to find a way to combat the incursion of the evil organisation into their domain. 

As the rulers of the central continent, it was humiliating for them to let outside forces interfere in their land.

And the first topic on their agenda was to find the identity of the evil organisation. 

It has been months since one of the nine great tribes, the thousand-headed serpent tribe was destroyed by the evil organisation. And yet, they couldn't find out their real identity.

The only information they had on the evil organisation was their origin. They speculated that they originated from the West due to the presence of mages. Among the nine large cities on the continent, two were attacked by them. Thira was almost turned into dust while the blue gem city survived due to the lesser intensity of the attack. 

"What do the ice phoenix tribe and the thousand-headed serpent tribe have to say about the attacks. The information about the evil organisation is beyond lacking. If you have something to contribute, please say it now." One of the elders from the Void Fish tribe asked. The Void Fish tribe was one of the neutral entities among the nine great tribes. So, the elder spoke first to begin the conversation about the evil organisation. 

"I agree. Let's hear from the ice phoenix and thousand-headed serpent tribe first." The representative of the dive butterfly tribe said to ease the atmosphere. She was a beautiful young woman, not older than thirty. Despite her young age, the representative of the other tribes nodded in response to her words. You could see the respect and reverence they had in their eyes while they looked at the representative of the divine butterfly tribe.

Kalina promptly stood up from her seat. She was the one that came as the representative of the ice phoenix tribe. She bowed her head to show respect to the elders participating and looked at elders from the thousand-headed serpent tribe. 

It was the same elder that Alex talked to before. He had white hair and a beard. His body looked thin and frail. He was among the only few tier 4 warriors that survived during the attack on Thira. His name was Kuvan.

Kuvan, with his feeble body, stood up. He gazed at Kalina before saying.

"I will let the princess of the ice phoenix tribe explain the details first," Kuvan said humbly. Even before the meeting began, he had already spoken with Kalina. So, they were prepared to explain in detail.

After getting the confirmation from Kuvan, Kalina began her explanation. She told the representatives of the nine great tribes about what happened inside the blue gem city. She explained how the evil organisations stole the blue gem by influencing the first elder and the damage it created. 

The most shocking fact she said was about the relation between the evil organisation and the demon sealed in the north. This news startled everyone.

After that, she explained her experience in Thira.

It took her about an hour to explain her experience in great detail. Nonetheless, she believed it would be better to give as much information as she can rather than hold back on the information she has. After all, the threat of the evil organisation was real. And it affected everyone equally. 

But far from what she expected, a mocking voice greeted her after her lengthy explanation.

"Khek… A pathetic tribe. You couldn't even control your own people." A voice scoffed from the sideline.

It was the prince of the Volcanic Dragon tribe. His tribe was among the few that were not attacked by the evil organisation. So, his superiority complex flared up taking over his emotions. He believed that the evil organisation didn't dare to attack his tribe due to their impeccable strength.

Kalina heard his words perfectly. Her eyes darted towards the man. She wanted to freeze the hot-headed man. But before she could say anything, the beautiful woman from the divine butterfly tribe stood up and moved her hand.

A thin, lith, illusory hand materialized before her. She grabbed the unruly prince from the volcanic dragon tribe by the neck before throwing him out of the room. 

"If you cannot realise the importance of this gathering, you shouldn't participate in it." She said firmly. 

The tier 4 warrior, the prince of the volcanic dragon tribe couldn't even respond to what he was experiencing. Before he could think, he was outside the room, thrown out like a sack of potatoes. And thick energy was preventing him from moving or speaking.

It was humiliating.

But he quickly realised that he barely survived today. The beautiful lady from the divine butterfly tribe was a monster.

He came to the gathering without thinking much. And he dismissed the people who said a great danger was upon the central continent. He thought everyone was exaggerating the news. 

The thousand-headed Serpent tribe was destroyed because they were weak and the ice phoenix tribe was attacked from the inside. Neither could ever happen to his own tribe because they were strong and united. 

He didn't believe in the threat of the evil organisation. So, he insulted the Ice Phoenix tribe without any qualms. 

But it seems like he was wrong. A tier 5 warrior from the divine butterfly tribe came to the gathering. And he got his ass whooped by her.

'Fuck…How will I explain this to my brother.' Parv, the prince of the Volcanic Dragon tribe thought. He was still immobilised by the thick energy chains. So, he couldn't even beg for forgiveness. 

Looking at the startled audience, the beauty from the divine butterfly tribe spoke. 

"Let's continue." She dusted her hand and sat.
